Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its vibrant color and flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your casserole. Choose a sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Add some extras: Feel free to add other ingredients to your casserole, such as cooked bacon, chopped onion, or diced red bell pepper.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Broccoli Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is cheesy, creamy, and packed with broccoli florets.
